This is Buster the 4 legged love of my life,

He has been a devoted companion and has seen me through a lot of very difficult and glorious changes in the time we’ve been together. His snuggles have really comforted me.
From the very beginning, Buster was my constant companion, following me everywhere and snuggling beside me on the couch whenever I sat down. But I gotta admit he was a pretty bad puppy, I got him when he was about 2 months old weighed 2.5 lbs.. the 2.5 lb lil ball of fur was so sweet so it wasnt until about 6 months old oh my gosh, he had to be under constant watch always getting into trouble.
when he was about 2 yrs old he started to settle down and I could honestly call him house trained.
He is a very good dog now still a little needy lol but its nice to be needed most the time.
He is a traveler he goes with me on my out of town for work when its available.
It’s hard to believe, but its been 6 yrs since I adopted Buster from probably a puppy mill in MS. Since I have gotten him I have learned of Puppy Mills and DO NOT SUPPORT OR APPROVE OF THEM! I am so thankful to have him and has no reflection on him at all but I will never go through a service such as Puppy Mills –
There are thousands of animals who have so much to share with a loving family. If you’re considering adding a furry-friend to your family in the new year, please think about adopting a rescue. Even if you have a specific breed in mind, try searching Google for a breed-specific rescue in your region. You’ll be surprised how many dogs (both purebreds and mixes) are desperately in need of good homes. If adopting a dog or cat isn’t an option, please consider donating to a rescue or the ASPCA in your area. It takes a lot of resources to care for these animals while they are waiting for new homes; you can donate money, food, blankets, cleaning supplies, or even just some of your time.
I can promise you from first hand experience: letting a furry, four-legged friend into your heart will be one of the best things you ever do.
